PRETTY-PRINT-SCHEME(1)

💖 PRETTY-PRINT-SCHEME(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Theme-D manual set, and it's genuinely one of the cutest little utilities out there. it's called pretty-print-scheme and it does exactly what it says on the tin. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

pretty-print-scheme — pretty print Scheme code 💅

like. that's the whole job. it makes your Scheme look good.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pretty-print-scheme [FILENAME]

one optional argument, that's it, we love a low-maintenance icon 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie 🍓: the pretty-print-scheme command pretty-prints the Scheme file FILENAME. that's it. that's the assignment.

and if you don't hand it a filename? no stress, no drama — the code just gets read from the standard input instead. so you can pipe stuff in and she'll handle it. periodt. 💜

here's the part that's lowkey iconic though: you can also use this program to pretty-print Theme-D source code files, to make them readable. and when would you need that, you ask? typically for autogenerated code — because we all know what autogenerated code looks like and it is giving unreadable 😭 so this tool comes in, fixes the vibe, and makes it something a human can actually look at. main character energy fr fr ✨

and ngl, under the hood it's not even doing anything wild — the program uses the Guile pretty printer to do all the actual work. she's not reinventing the wheel, she's just calling in the pro 💅

heads up: there are no options, no flags, no environment variables, no exit statuses, no error codes, no signals, no files, no bugs, no authors and no SEE ALSO in this one. it's a one-trick pony and honestly? the pony ate. 🐴🔥
